September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) That's it. No trades at all in baseball...no movement this year.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) I must say, I am shocked KW didn't do anything. Maybe he is saving money for future FA signings in the offseason for the playoff push next year.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) Maybe they just haven't announced anything yet? How the hell is this Mike Esposito on the radio...he sucks
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) How the hell is this Mike Esposito on the radio...he sucks huh? WTF
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:05 PM) huh? WTF He is on the score right now.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) He is on the score right now. oh. Anything about Walker?
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) oh. Anything about Walker? Nothing
September 1, 200520 yr It's over, finally. No more speculation. I feel relieved and rejuvenated, yet at the same time I feel sick to my stomach that we couldn't get anything done.

I feel relieved and rejuvenated, yet at the same time I feel sick to my stomach that we couldn't get anything done. I'm definitely happy it's over with. I honestly think that all the talk (Griffey Jr.) might have been a distraction to the team. In a way, you could get the sense we kept waiting for someone else on the team to spark the offfense. Now, it's up to the team we've had all year to get it done down the stretch.

You will feel real sick to your stomach when Timo is the man that comes off the bench in the playoffs instead of someone good.

September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) It would have happened no matter who we got. Thats true, when given Option A Carl Everett and Option B Timo Perez. Today Ozzie picked option B.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) It would have happened no matter who we got. I actually like BA and Gload off the bench.
September 1, 200520 yr I love having BA off the bench. The one thing we've lacked all year, besides in games where Thomas was off, was some righty power off of the bench. If there's 2 outs and we're down 1, as much as I like Ozuna, Anderson is a much better option against someone like J.C. Romero.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) I must say, I am shocked KW didn't do anything. We missed our chance big time, KW not making a move is very disappointing. Yeah you can argue no other teams made a big trade but 1 team could have improve greatly with a trade over all other playoff bound teams(sox).
September 1, 200520 yr Well, now that it's over, I can say this: I'm happy we didn't trade for Walker. Knowing the way Hendry is, I have a feeling we would have been very upset with who we had to give up to get a rental player.

Knowing the way Hendry is, I have a feeling we would have been very upset with who we had to give up to get a rental player. Sweeney/Young/Owens. Take your pick they'd be in the Cubs system tomorrow had we gotten walker.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 04:34 AM) Sweeney/Young/Owens. Take your pick they'd be in the Cubs system tomorrow had we gotten walker. Sweeney or Young. Owens wouldn't have been enough. I was thinking someone like Honel would have been in the deal.
September 1, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) Sweeney or Young. Owens wouldn't have been enough. I was thinking someone like Honel would have been in the deal. I was thinking Owens + a lower tier pitching prospect would have been enough. But yeah Sweeney and Young would be the two most likely traded.

September 1, 200520 yr Let this be a lesson learned by Kenny. Adress as many, if not all of your weaknesses during the off-season.
